Besides the sound being a bit intermittent, I get a few seconds delay
(about 7) between me talking and my friend hearing meI
He is less than 10 miles away.
Is this normal?

If it is, it's a total waste of time , it's like talking to Mars! :-(((
 
Greetings Zulu,

Although 7 seconds really isn't normal, even if your contact was using dialup, the delay
usually it averages around 4 or 5 seconds, but can sometimes be less then one. Unfortunately
distance doesn't have much to do with it, it all depends on bandwidth and the connections
between you and your contact.
